Class Updates:
Welcome to Social Studies 8! Below are the class updates and all information regarding due dates, homework, etc. Please email me if you have any questions or concerns. Welcome Back! Thursday September 12th (Blk 3 &4) Today we went over the Bayeux Tapestry and the Battle of Hastings together as a class (see my notes from the whiteboard we did for review). I read the story to the class and we went through it step by step together. Block 3 got into groups and did a comic style summary and Block 4 had more of a class discussion to summarize it. Then you were all given the Bayeux Tapestry worksheet (/18 marks) to start working on in class. This is 4 questions that will be collected at the end of class on Monday 17th. It is not homework as I will give you time on Monday to finish. We ended with a very short but memorable video "William the Conqueror- 1066"- Enjoy! :) Tuesday September 11th (Blk 3 & 4) Today I introduced the Medieval Era and we went through notes on Medieval Life, Japan & Europe, and then got into notes on the introduction of Feudalism in Europe. We began with Chapter 2 of your textbook and the Battle of Hastings in 1066 with William of Normandy and Harold of England. We went through the notes as a class then I asked you to read the Bayeux Tapestry in class for the remainder of the block. No homework today. Friday September 7th (Blk 3 & 4) Today we recapped your first week of high school then did a "World Geography Challenge" package in class to see what you guys could remember and find out. I also gave out your Pathways to Civilizations textbooks today but there is no homework. Enjoy your weekend! Wednesday September 5th (Blks 3 & 4) Welcome to class! Today we went over the course outline, expectations, and what the course is all about. We then did a mini-history review of the ancient civilisations up to the Fall of Rome and then you filled out a get-to-know-you form for me. No homework today! Tuesday September 4th School Starts |
